thirdcoast Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Pioneer Update!!! Pioneer has chosen a completely new show that was announced to the members today while the title remains the same the concept/music will different. We will do all original music!!! Staff has made this decision to ensure great success for the corps with its smaller member base. Only numbers that we can officially release are drumline numbers that are very out of the box. 10 snares 5 bass 8 cymbals Yes, that is the drumline!!! Thank you for the curiousness, you should be curious because it will be different and it will be entertaining. Sweet! The all important question? Is the show going to kick my frikin ###? GO PIONEER!

Pioneersop98 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Well, I for one am intrigued! Can't wait to see where Pioneer goes with the show concept this summer! Best of luck and better every day, Pioneer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdy Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) No tenors? That is what I was wondering. Adam, why not 8 snares, 2 tenors, 5 bass and 8 cymbals? I am not a drummer, I am only married to one, but this set up seems more "normal". Good luck Pio! Edited May 5, 2011 by Howdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdy Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Interesting, no tenor drums? Not to get off subject, but Adam, I bet you are living it up with the Bulls as the best team in the NBA right now. OT: Ouch they really beat us up tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NR_Ohiobando Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 8 to 2 is imbalanced soundwise. 7 to 3 makes more sense to me (or even 6 to 4) But a drumline sans tenors doesn't seem like too big of a deal with me. Madison's 98 show opener sounded fairly normal to the ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else noticed that you can correlate pit size w/ global temperature increases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BozzlyB Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 8 to 2 is imbalanced soundwise. but with a smaller hornline no more than 6 snares is necessary ,so why not 7/3 6/4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have marched with Pioneer they use two trucks for two different reason's just like every other corps other there. The equipment truck has uniforms in there also along with the battery storage. Oh and there is a battery Adam just hasn't posted that information I have asked him in person about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
